For the record, I'm not in favor of a transparent search or any of the consulting firm BS like we've seen in recent years at State and UNC.
But if you look at the speed with which the hire was made, and the information we had from insiders at the time, the story was that Bz was the only target. All of the supposed rejections were never on the radar until the athletic department backtracked into full-on spin mode.
Furthermore, all of the information we've gotten about Wellman's Final Four trip is that he was setting things in motion and gauging interest from potential replacements. I don't think Dino was fired without Wellman feeling confident, based on the feelers he sent out, that he could get a guy who was high on his list. This leaves two possible conclusions: either (1) Wellman did not get the quick and resolute rejections you're suggesting, or (2) Bz was a lot higher up on the list than you are suggesting.
